Popular pan-Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera took to the microblogging site Twitter after its Arabic language broadcasts were cut by Egyptian authorities, instructing viewers in Egypt on how to access its news on a different frequency, or via online streaming. The Qatar-based channel, which has beamed live images across Egypt of the six days of anti-government protests, has about 25,000 followers on Twitter.
